Fill in a bubble or learn how to read?
Wait for the stop or investigate the leaf?
Read science fiction or learn to write diction?
Advance on a test or solve the equation?
We have become a test only nation!

Schools are only as strong as their teachers,
But valued pedagogues are mythical creatures.
If politicians could see,
Rather than trust egos like Rhee,
Our children would not be stuck in the bleachers.
